北米Model "A1520BE-A" EDITED: 2022/ 11/ 22
7-7. Continuously Variable
Transmission
s07bg
WARNING
Do not shift from the “P” or “N”
position into the “D” or “R” position
while depressing the accelerator
pedal. This may cause the vehicle
to lurch forward or backward.
CAUTION
. Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to observe these
precautions could cause damage
to the transmission.
– Shift into the “P” or “R” posi-
tion only after the vehicle has
completely stopped.
– Do not shift from the “D”
position into the “R” position
or vice versa until the vehicle
has completely stopped.
. Do not race the engine for more
than 5 seconds in any position
except the “N” or “P” position
when the brake is applied or
when chocks are used in the
wheels. This may cause the
transmission fluid to overheat.
. Never move the vehicle rearward
by inertia with the select lever set
in a forward driving position or
move the vehicle forward by
inertia with the select lever set
in the “R” position. Doing so may
result in an unexpected accident
or malfunction.
. When parking the vehicle, first
securely apply the parking brake
and then place the select lever in
the “P” position. Do not park for a
long time with the select lever in
any other position as doing so
could result in a dead battery.
& Continuously Variable Trans-
mission Features
s07bg06
The continuously variable transmission is
electronically controlled and provides an
infinite number of forward speeds and 1
reverse speed. For some models, it also
has a manual mode or an “L” position.
NOTE
. When the engine coolant tempera-
ture is still low, the transmission will
shift at higher engine speeds than
when the coolant temperature is
sufficiently high in order to shorten
the warm-up time and improve dri-
veability. The gearshift timing will
automatically shift to the normal
timing after the engine has warmed
up.
. Immediately after transmission fluid
is replaced, you may feel that the
transmission operation is somewhat
unusual. This results from invalida-
tion of data which the on-board
computer has collected and stored
in memory to allow the transmission
to shift at the most appropriate times
for the current condition of your
vehicle. Optimized shifting will be
restored as the vehicle continues to
be driven for a while.
. When driving under continuous hea-
vy load conditions such as climbing
a long, steep hill, the engine speed,
vehicle speed and air conditioning
system cooling performance may
automatically be reduced. This is
not a malfunction. This phenomenon
results from the engine control func-
tion maintaining the cooling perfor-
mance of the vehicle. The engine
and vehicle speed will return to a
normal speed when the engine is
able to maintain the optimum cool-
ing performance after the heavy load
decreases. Driving under a heavy
load must be performed with ex-
